Panchakarma, a New Experience.

Last week I had an entirely new experience, Panchakarma.  Panchakarma is a cleansing and rejuvenating program for the body, mind and consciousness.  For one week, from Sunday until Saturday, I lived at the Ayurvedic Institute in Albuquerque, New Mexico and experienced the program of Panchakarma.

Here is a quote from their website about Panchakarma:   “Our five-day program, designed by Vasant Lad and based on his 30 years of clinical Ayurvedic and allopathic experience, is custom-tailored to your current state of health, wellness and constitution. It is the starting point to pro-actively manage and improve your own health and wellness. Personal attention is given to each client’s specific needs.”

As a way of cleansing your body and even your mind, I would recommended everyone to explore Panchakarma and how it could be of assistance to them.  I know that I will go back, hopefully to redo this program on a yearly basis.

Our true intention shows up in our actions.

Our true intention will show up in our actions.  What we do and how we behave will reveal our real intention, regardless of what we say or express verbally.  It is important in any change process, including the recovery program, to plan or say your intention.  Plan and express your intention each morning upon awakening and stay present to it throughout the day.  What are you committed to today?  What are you committed to now?  What is it that you want to create in your life?  What is it that you want to create now?

To fulfill on our intention will require a plan, both a recovery plan and a daily action plan, tools to bring about ones intention.  First is the recovery plan, a general direction in which you will go, the goals that you will attempt to accomplish.  Remember to develop your recovery plan.  Plan your work.  Your recovery plan is about your life and your integrity.  Once created, are you in integrity with your recovery plan?  Are you in integrity with your life?

Next is your daily action plan, how you will bring your recovery plan into reality and your day to day life.  Remember to create your daily action plan daily.  Always work this plan daily.  Your daily action plan is about your commitment and integrity with respect to your recovery plan.  Your daily action plan is about fulfilling on your intention and commitments.  Your daily action plan is about keeping your recovery plan in existence.
